Outside Run

We did a run of our play outside to get a feel for what it would be like when we perform in Brighton and Jack was hoping that this would help us with our poor vocal volume.

When we were doing the run we had somewhat of an audience; people passing by were intrigued by what we were doing and stopped and watched for a short while before walking away. We also got a few disapproving looks from people who didn't know what we were doing which makes you feel slightly self conscious, but I think this is a taste of what to expect from our audience at the Brighton Fringe. When I watched a few of the scenes it became apparent to me how low our volume can be. We have been rehearsing in a normal classroom so volume has never been too much of an issue for us but when we move to the theatre, we will have to be so much louder and fill the space but we will have to be careful no to shout or it ruins everything.
I also learnt what it was like to rehearse with no set or props (apart from swords) which is what we will be dealing with in Brighton. I think we have to make sure we don't get too reliant on our set and props but through performing at Brighton I think we will have more of an understanding of what it was like to be an actor in Shakespearean days.
